How do you figure that? Did she go after child molesters? Mass murderering psychos? Or did she go after knife-wielding maniacs who at the very least deserved to get their asses whooped? Enlighten me!

People who abused Dave's girlfriend, people who worked for a man who tried to kill people, people who KILL people, etc. People like the girl at the apartment in the first wasn't deserved but the guy who worked with Katie? Yeah, he deserved it. So did Mother Russia.

So the ends justify the means? Nonsense. In this instance, BOTH sides are evil, but the story apparently tricks us into rooting for one side, when we shouldn't be rooting for either.

And maybe if she hadn't gone out to challenge them, they wouldn't attack. These so-called "superheroes" think they're doing the right thing by donning a costume and going out to take the law into their own hands, and I had guessed that's what this stupid movie was trying to say, but then it went from being a satire into a dark, gritty action film. And besides, she's too goddamn young! Would it have hurt the movie too much to make her a 19-year-old?

Comic strips are essentially a uniquely American phenomenon. And of course the USA also kills anyone that they feel may be a threat to it. Until recently suspected criminals were lynched. Now they are shot down by police and armed civilians. Vigilantism is alive and well in the USA. The Purge movies are not far moved from reality. The fact is that the USA is like a giant real world comic strip.

a big reason I HATE Chloe Moretz is for her portrayal of this little cockroach!

I dread to think of what opinion you must have of Anthony Hopkins.

I think he's a great actor, with a WIDE variety of roles on his resume. He doesn't ALWAYS play the heavy, but when he does, he pulls off 'psychological evil' perfectly, same with Malcolm McDowell. They both can give powerful performances without always having to prove themselves and push the envelope.

Hating an actor because you disapprove of "almost ALL of her characters" shows a defect in logic that I, personally, would be reluctant to admit to.

reply

[–] ExplorerDS6789 9 years ago

I disprove of her constantly taking a similar kind of role, in a similar kind of movie. I hate Chloe because she thinks she's ABOVE the kinds of roles someone her age would be expected to play. She's acts all high-and-mighty and doesn't care about her fans! And what's really aggravating is she rose to stardom by playing the role of a 10-year-old MURDERER! What kind of f'ed-up parent would let their 10-year-old be in this garbage?!

With all due respect, even if you don't deserve any, do you know her personally?

reply

No, but I've seen enough evidence to confirm my feelings. But, by all means, be one of those people who argues that Chloe DOES care about her fans and posts links to tweets that Chloe either liked or reweeted at COMPLETELY RANDOM times to COMPLETELY RANDOM people.

Chloe is an ugly, snotty, stuck-up bitch, and I doubt you can try to prove otherwise.

So you disapprove of Carrie? A girl who was bullied (and not just normal bullying I mean come on) to the point she lost it and went a touch too far. Or the girl in Hugo?

I'm not saying I like kick ass. I despise this film just because I love superheroes and didn't realise this wasn't about heroes but was about vigilantes like punisher or daredevil.

I don't think anyone's calling her a hero. The actress is good in the film but she isn't playing a hero. I mean (it's been a while since I saw the film) but at one point don't her and her dad crush a completely helpless man to death in a car? That's not a hero. That's a vigilante.

I never saw Hugo, but I guess Chloe hated making it because she hasn't made any more family films.
As for Carrie, it was a stupid unimaginative remake in the first place.

Thank you for pointing that out. I guarantee the hardcore fans will try to deny that.

Wut? You're talking about some other movie because that scene never happened in Kick Ass.

reply

[–] chell-glados 9 years ago

A man is handcuffed to a car's steering wheel and the car is shown inside a large crushing device; the car is then crushed while the man yells and we see a splatter of blood on the windshield.

YMMV. Personally, I don't like superhero films, but I love this film.

And Hit-Girl strikes me as a good person, in the sense that she cares about other people and genuinely tries to do what is right. She just has a different idea about what is right to most of us. But not that different - after all, few people condemn Dave for acts of lethal violence against mobsters, so her view cannot be that far from most of us.

(BTW - I do dislike Carrie. There are hundreds of millions of Americans, tens of millions of them are teenagers, and probably tens of thousands of them are treated as badly as her. Many of these have access to firearms, and could go on a killing spree just like her. And yet they don't. Clearly, her actions are a very unusual response to her circumstances. That should tells us something about her as a person, which everyone seems to ignore by asserting she is not responsible for her own actions.

But that is hardly a thing to hold against the actress who plays her. To dislike the actor because you dislike the character would be the act of an idiot.)

[–] chell-glados 9 years ago

Tbh I can't stand the new Carrie film. The mum isn't that bad (as the original) and the opening shower scene, in the original I cringed in the new I was bored.

Plus when she snaps you can't beat sissy spacek snapping round to stare at everyone, she clearly was deranged. Compare that to the mortezs waving arms, she's clearly in control and seems to be enjoying it.

I sympathise to a certain extent to hit girl, her dad clearly isn't right in the head. It's just that car crushing scene that's wrong completely.

I mean I went into the film like "welp batman rip off, should be fun" and walked into punisher. D=

I get the impression that the author of this thread is an exceptionally boring individual. Can't have a movie super hero that goes outside of your Superman expectations of what it means to be super hero! Fück you, the more intelligent portion of the audience like having a darker, grittier, more thought provoking and morally multi-facetted story that doesn't deal in black and white good and evil. I'd rather just see characters on their journey rather than another boring soul searching crap fest of good vs evil where good always wins. That accounts for the majority of movies in existence so just please shut up and let us have the few movies that exist outside of this norm that we do have. If you don't like it, then avoid it, just like how I avoid your favorite movies like "Bridget Jones Diary"

reply

[–] ExplorerDS6789 9 years ago

So, by your definition, being a superhero is being a homicidal maniac?

Superman expectations? No, my hero is Batman. He deals with his inner demons and fights crime WITHOUT murdering his enemies. Sure, he used to do that in the very early comics and a time or two in the Tim Burton films, but his character has since been redefined. Murder is what made him the man he is. His parents were murdered right in front of him, so he took on this crusade to make sure others didn't have to suffer the same way he did. Sure, it would help things if he killed the Joker, but that's just not who he is.

Incidentally, I'd like to see Batman and Hit Girl square off. He'd put that little bitch over his knee and give the spanking she deserves.

So killing his enemies is not who he is, but beating the $hit out of an 11 year old is who he is?

So she gets a pass because she's 11?! I hope you don't have kids, because you sound like the type who would let them get away with murder... possibly literally.

reply

[–] VVolfySnackrib 9 years ago

No, no, no, no. You're not slithering your way out of this one. So you're saying age isn't a factor? If a 3 year old did something destructive, Batman should pummel its ass?

I don't have kids, nor do I intend to get kids. I compose music, I write and I illustrate, and I intend on refining myself in those things, and having kids would demand 100 % effort as a parent because I am a perfectionist and would only ever consider getting kids if I felt ready give it my everything, which I do not. Working on my creativity is more important to me and I do not intend to waste it.

Not to mention, statistics show that parents are generally less happy and experience a lesser sense of well being than people without kids. It's a fact that kids make adults miserable. A fact that most would love to deny but it's based on research, so sorry about that.

As for how I'd raise my kid if I had one, letting them get away with just about anything? I'd intend on raising them with a utilitarian moral compass in mind. Teach them things such ass that an individuals need to escape pain always outweighs an individuals need to inflict pain. So don't presume that you know anything about how I engage with reality just because of how I enjoy my fiction. Because that's just it, it's fiction. I stand for taking all this violence and hatred and bigotry that the world has to offer and put that into our fiction. I don't want these things in the reality around me. I want it in my fiction.
